The objective of the course "Sustainable Environment and Fiscal Instruments" is to teach students the fundamental concepts and principles related to sustainability and environmental management. The course aims to provide knowledge about fiscal instruments used to manage environmental issues. It seeks to give students a comprehensive understanding of environmental problems, the processes of modeling these issues, the selection of instrument choices, and cost-benefit analysis. Additionally, the discussion of current environmental issues and policies is among the course objectives.
Modeling environmental problems and selecting appropriate fiscal instruments for these problems constitute the core topics of the course. Students will also learn the principles of cost-benefit analysis in environmental projects and engage in case studies to apply these analyses.
